Here ya' go. See the attached file.

Really... I've done some compiling over the last couple of days and did
not notice anything untoward but it was small stuff like gkrellm and
XFce.

This was Seawolf downloaded on Monday morning and installed as an
upgrade over top of Guiness. The laptop is a Tuxtop PIII 500 with 256MB
of RAM and a Linksys 10/100 Combo Card. I have also installed it onto a
couple of non mission-essential servers and my primary work station.
None of these have given me any serious problems.
